The Pitch
Element Beverage Company was created by Devin Espadron in 2016 in the City of New Orleans. Element manufactures and retails premium, all natural fruit flavored lemonades to supermarkets, restaurants, convenient stores and local food festivals in New Orleans and six surrounding parishes. In March 2022, Element landed a beverage distribution deal with Southern Eagle Beverage Distributors. Their mission is to influence and empower the world to step out of their “Element,” taste their dreams and achieve their true potential.
